Honestly, the trickiest part is that 'Locked Up' could be made by different circles, so the creator depends on which edition you have in mind. My quick recipe: find the circle/artist name on the book or listing, then search that name on Booth, DLsite, Melonbooks, and Toranoana. If it’s sold out, check Mandarake and Yahoo! Auctions or use eBay — proxies like ZenMarket or Buyee are lifesavers for buying from Japanese-only shops. For digital versions, DLsite or the artist's Booth page often has the download. I once missed a print run and had to wait months for a resale; patience pays off, and the feeling of opening that package was totally worth it.
Wow — there are actually a few doujinshi that go by the title 'Locked Up', so saying who made it depends on which one you mean. I usually flip the book over to the back or look at the inside front cover: doujin circles always list the circle name and often the artist handle there. If you find a circle name (it might be Japanese like a two-kanji name or an English handle), that’s your creator. On physical copies the circle is the clearest provenance; on digital copies the store page will list the artist and circle.
For buying, I’ve had the best luck checking Japanese shops like Melonbooks and Toranoana for new or reprinted stock, and Mandarake if it’s out of print. For digital or indie sellers, DLsite and Booth.pm are solid — Booth often hosts the artist’s own shop. If you can’t buy from Japan directly, use proxy services (Buyee, FromJapan, ZenMarket) or check used-market spots like eBay and Yahoo! Auctions. I once tracked down a rare print by following a circle’s Pixiv and catching a “back catalog” post, so stalking the creator’s social storefronts is often the quickest route. Happy hunting — it feels great when you finally snag the copy you wanted.
Late-night collector vibe here: I once spent weeks tracking down a small-press doujin called 'Locked Up' and learned a few hard lessons about identification and availability. First, many doujin share titles, so you must confirm the artist or circle. Check the booth or store page for an artist handle, find their Pixiv or Twitter (artists often post restock info), and make note of any catalog number printed on the book. That catalog number is like a fingerprint when searching Mandarake or Yahoo! Auctions.
If the copy is out of print, don’t give up on secondhand stores. Mandarake’s Japan storefront and used sections at Toranoana list older runs frequently. For erasable or digital sellers, DLsite and Booth generally host official uploads, while Melonbooks and Toranoana handle physical sales and in-store pick-ups at Comiket reprints. Use a proxy (I favor Buyee) if the shop blocks international checkout — the extra fee is worth it for rarities. Personally I joined a couple collector Discords where people swap leads; that’s how I finally landed my copy. It felt like winning a little treasure hunt.
Okay, short guide from someone who buys stuff late at night: if you mean the doujin titled 'Locked Up', identify the creator by checking the cover for the circle name or the artist handle. Many doujin titles repeat, so the circle/artist is the key. Once you have that name, search on Booth.pm, DLsite, Melonbooks, or Toranoana — those are the main outlets. If it’s sold out, Mandarake and Yahoo! Auctions Japan are excellent for used copies. I use a proxy service to buy from Toranoana because they sometimes restrict international orders; proxies also help with Yahoo! Auctions. For digital-only releases, DLsite will often have an English page or automatic purchase option. One tip I swear by: look for a product code or ISBN on the listing — that makes matching listings across stores so much easier. It’s always satisfying to finally click "buy" after tracking a title for weeks.

The last thing Miranda thought when she responded to a prison pen pal request was to find true love. Joel, well, he was only hoping to pass time and maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone to have a little fun with after doing ten years of hard time in the state penitentiary for a crime he committed when he had just barely turned eighteen years old. He had been hardened by the things he'd seen and the experiences of imprisonment and no longer believed in lovey dovey fairy tales or happily ever after. So hardened in fact, that he knew women only led to one thing-trouble. Not even a good girl like Miranda would break him ever again. Not with her long dark hair, those hypnotizing amber-eyes, and definitely not those full lips that would look so good…nope, nope, nope.
What neither one expected was to find the perfect balance of emotional and physical attraction. Can Miranda's persistence and commitment soften and heal Joel's untrusting heart or will Joel break Miranda in ways she has never experienced before?
This is the first book of three in the Locked-Up Lovers series. Enjoy!
Imagine being kidnapped; being held hostage; being threatened with hunger and violence; surviving with unknown people.
Imagine finding a connection, finding love in that oh so terrible prison.
Imagine being loved by that love.
Imagine being lost, torn away from that love; slapped back to the reality of your fate.
Imagine being tortured; the pain not mostly from your own torture, but from the knowledge that the love was somewhere else, somewhere close but far; also being tortured.
Imagine your whole life being questioned, threatened to be a lie.
Imagine that love being questioned.
Imagine being alone.
Imagine Love In Bondage.
In an ancient part of the world, there is a prison. Oliver has lived in prison for sixteen years, his entire life. It is complicated and terrible how someone whose only crime was to exist has been treated worse than a criminal.
Knowing the world, seeing that it was not bad as he told him, but the truth is that he wanted him, he taught it to me.
I dug into the whole situation around the 'Locked Up' doujin and here's the deal: it's almost certainly not an official part of any mainstream franchise. Most doujin works—even ones that riff hard on existing characters or settings—are fan creations produced by independent circles and self-published at events like Comiket or via platforms such as Booth, Melonbooks, or Pixiv. You'll usually see a circle name, a print-run note, and no publisher imprint like you'd expect from Kadokawa, Square Enix, or Shueisha.
If you want hard signs, check the credits and the ISBN. Official tie-ins typically carry a publisher logo, an ISBN or official product code, and sometimes a clear licensing blurb. Doujin items tend to list a circle, an artist, maybe a warning about being fan-made, and limited release notes. I've picked up dozens of similar books at conventions and the absence of a publisher and the presence of event-only stamps is a giveaway. Also, art style similarity doesn't equal canonicity—creators often imitate a franchise for doujinshi without any licensing.
So in short: unless 'Locked Up' was publicly announced as a licensed collaboration (which would show up on official franchise websites and shops), treat it as a fanwork. I still love how wildly creative some of those circles get, even when they're unofficial.
